Nigella Lawson's recipe taken from The Food Network website. I served these with cocktail sauce for dipping. Prep time includes standing time. Nigella's instructions are pretty simply written, but you will need to heat the oil, of course. Read more :) See less

Ingredients

1/2 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, minced shopping list
1 garlic clove, minced shopping list
2 scallions, white and green parts, minced (I used 3) shopping list
1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
1/2 cup all purpose flour shopping list
4 tsp. sherry shopping list
olive oil for frying (I used a canola/vegetable blend) shopping list

How to make it

Process or blend the shrimp with the garlic, scallions, salt, flour, sherry and enough water to make a thick batter (I would say I used 4 to 5 tablespoons). Let stand, covered with plastic film, for 1 hour. Then fry, in drops of 1 heaping teaspoon, into the oil poured to a depth of 2" in a pan, for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. (I did heaping tablespoons for about three minutes each side).

Just verifying, the shrimp are raw, correct? And do you mean MIX or put in a BLENDER when you say "blend"--saying batter makes me think the latter?
